‘Titan’ of Welsh politics Jenny Randerson dies aged 76 Tributes paid to Lib Dem peer and former Wales culture minister who introduced free entry to museums.
Randerson stood down at the elections in 2011, but was given a peerage by the then Lib Dem leader, Nick Clegg, and served in another governing coalition, this time between the Conservative party and Lib Dems, as a Wales minister.
Tributes have been paid to Jenny Randerson, a “titan” of Welsh politics who introduced free entry to museums in Wales, after her death at the age of 76.
Speaking in April 2001, Randerson, who was then minister for culture, sport and the Welsh language, said it would allow everybody to enjoy Wales’s “rich heritage of arts, science and social and industrial history”.
“From free entry to Wales’s national museums to the decision to build Wales Millennium Centre, her work as a minister left an indelible mark on our politics and society.
